A councillor who has alleged that Sinn Féin ignored a string of bullying complaints and turned a blind eye to an assault has resigned from the party.Dublin city councillor Noeleen Reilly has resigned from the party with immediate effect, alleging she was the victim of "an orchestrated bullying campaign".Ms Reilly alleges she was assaulted by a person close to Dublin Northwest TD Dessie Ellis and this weekend released a series of images showing injuries she claims were sustained during the assault.

Thats quiet a few they've lost in the past few years

Mere Coincidence - there is no evidence of a bullying culture in Sein Fein.

Eoin O'Broin on Morning Ireland earlier claimed that Kelly was illegally clamped and knew this as soon as he saw it. So he popped back into the gym and borrowed some bolt cutters to remove the clamp.And that was that although the ever articulate Eoin did say he wouldn't have undertaken such a course of action himself.

It must be tough for the new breed of Shinners...middle class, well educated, articulate..to have to continuously defend dinosaurs like Gerry(s)
